Abstract
Long-term survival rates of metachronous, bilateral renal cell carcinoma are moderate. von Hippel-Lindau disease, a family history of renal cell carcinoma, multifocal first renal cell carcinoma and young patient age are independent risk factors for contralateral renal cell carcinoma. These risk factors support close and extended abdominal surveillance following nephrectomy for unilateral renal cell carcinoma. Patients with a longer primary-free interval have a more favorable prognosis.
